Lactase is an enzyme needed for a specific biochemical reaction in the body which is the breaking down of lactose, a sugar in milk and milk products. Lactase splits lactose to create sugars glucose and galactose. There are some people that are said to have lactase deficiency and are called lactose intolerant, this happens when the person’s body doesn’t make enough lactase, as a result they are not able to digest milk well. These people tend to take supplemental lactase to help their bodies break down lactose and tolerate milk; in this method they can prevent symptoms of lactose intolerance which include cramps, diarrhea and gas.
